A seat 18 is operative y supported iny each seat compartment formedbetveen each pair of uprights l as clearly shown in -ligure 3. Each seat18 is shown in full lines in this view in its closed position, `which issub stantia lyl vertical ln order to permit of vertical adjustment ofthe rear end of each sent 18, l provide each seat 1S with a pair oftrunnions 1S adapted to move upand down in the vertical slot 20 in eachupright l. The upper end of each slot 20forms a stop for the rear end ofthe seats 18. In order to provide further support for the rear end ofeach seat 18, I permit the upper face of the rear edge thereof to comeVinto engagement with the lower edge of, the. back piece 13, as shown indotted lines vin Figure 4i. lThe lower face of each seat 18 near therear end thereof is adapted to rest upon ythe upper edgeof the frontpanel 7, asis manifest, and indicated in dotted lines in" Figure 4. ltwill be observed that the seats 18 cannot loe/opened or extended foruse' until after. their respective doors ll, are opened, as indicated indotted lines in Fig ure 4.'

l From the foregoing it will 'be readily understood that when it isdesired to use the table-top 15, that it first necessary to lower oropen the door 1G before raisingthe table-top, into an extended4horizontal position, as is manifest.

)When it is desired to use the seats 18, it is first necessary to loweror open the doors 11 and then raise the seats 18, finally bringing themto an extended horizontal. position, as clearly shown in Figure Theseats i8 it will be observed are arranged on opposite sides of thetable-top l5 and intermediate the tabletop l5 and thefloor of the room.

VIt will-thus be seen thatwlliedno table or seats are desired exposed inthe room,

that they may be concealed inv the Wall freni vieW,and when desired foruse quickly adJuSted to form seats, or either,

may be a vtable-top and independent'of the other.
